Re: The cloud strikes again

"DNS gets messed up all over the place. Routers get hacked."

Nonsense, if you run bind and place the primary server on-premise and secondary server off-site (cheap cloud VM) chances are extremely small that you will have any DNS issues.

(Regarding routers: If you only allow management protocols to be reached by your own IP's, it's highly unlikely that it gets hacked.)

It's only when you try to overcomplicate things that problems will arise. Probably Microsoft added a full blown SQL backend to it or something which will greatly increase the risk of issues.
